If you had sent me an e-mail about this, I might have removed Dave's moderation
post. I'm sure you realize this, but if you have a problem with CCC and some of
the moderators are out of the loop, you need to get them in the loop.

I'm sure it's a question of organization. Yes, the posts will take up the same
amount of space. But using that argument, we might as well ignore the thread
